SOMERSET, NJ--(Marketwired - Jul 17, 2017) - MTBC (
The first half of 2017 was a breakthrough period for MTBC. Here are some highlights of what we expect to officially report on August 3, after our independent accountants review our financial statements for the second quarter:
- First half 2017 revenue was approximately $16 million - revenue increased approximately 55% over the first half of 2016;
- Q2 2017 adjusted EBITDA was positive, likely marking our highest positive adjusted EBITDA in our history as a public company;
- Q2 2017 GAAP net loss was significantly lower than the Q1 2017 net loss, with almost 90% of the Q2 net loss attributable to non-cash amortization and depreciation;
- We ended Q2 with approximately $5.8 million cash on our balance sheet; and
- We're well positioned to meet or exceed our full-year 2017 guidance of $30-31 million of revenue with $2.0- 2.5 million of positive adjusted EBITDA.
In his letter to shareholders, Bill Korn, MTBC's Chief Financial Officer, said, "We are very grateful to our common shareholders who have enthusiastically responded to the success of our strategy, and the investors in our non-convertible Series A Preferred Stock who purchased an additional $7.4 million of our preferred stock in a follow-on offering in late June. Our story is beginning to resonate more clearly and loudly with investors and other stakeholders -- and our year-to-date performance marks a pivotal new chapter in our story, which we believe will be followed by additional exciting chapters in the months and years ahead."
Korn continued, "Our successful Q2 capital raise and transition to positive adjusted EBITDA , which will lead to positive cash flow from operations , are empowering us to further strengthen our balance sheet as we increase cash, reduce debt, and invest in growth initiatives. These internal achievements come at a great time, since we view the industry as being at an inflection point that presents significant opportunities to MTBC."
"During the first half of 2017, we observed a continued acceleration in the transformation of the regulations, business models and insurance reimbursement structures that form the framework of the healthcare industry, and these transformations are driving healthcare providers to our solution. These changes challenge the near and long-term viability of practicing medicine and obtaining insurance reimbursement without a strong technology partner and support a paradigm shift to a comprehensive solution, such as the one we provide," concluded Korn.
During the most recent quarter, MTBC announced the launch of MTBC WebSoft -- the newest addition to our leading cloud-based healthcare IT platform which supports scalability, acquisition integration, and margin expansion -- and the successful phase one launch of its next-generation, voice-enabled electronic health records solution, talkEHR™ . MTBC's global team of approximately 250 software development and technology professionals strives to ensure that its platform remains out-front so that it can leverage the opportunities -- organic and acquisitive -- that it sees in the market.

The live webcast of the conference call can be accessed under Events & Presentations at ir.mtbc.com .
